EX3800 Extender mode (WPS) won't go off
EX3800 won't switch from extender mode to access point mode ONLY. "WPS" light is always on, no matter what I do. "Router" -light also turns on, so access point mode is starting, but same time "WPS"-light is still green. I have tried to push WPS-button for 5 sec so that green light starts to blink. Power-light goes orange, and turns to green after a while. But after blinking, WPS-light is always on, while router-light gets off and on, switching normally as it should. According to manual, WPS-light and router-light shouldn't be green at same time. EX3800 is connected to Netgear WiFi-router with ethernet-cable, from main building to another. I need to expand my Wi-Fi with cable, because with extender mode the EX3800 can't reach the router on air. I made setup first time, by connectin EX3800 to router in same room with short cable. Setup worked out fine. Router light was on, WPS off and everything worked nicely. Then I moved EX3800 to another building and made same cable-connection. Only difference is that cable lenght is longer, as I use ethernet sockets in walls. EX3800 found the router as earlier, but now the WPS light won't go off. I also pushed factory reset and made setup again. Same result, WPS light is green and won't go off. (NGEX3800ACRP, firmware updated)WN2500RP disabled WPS, not able to install anymore
Hi, Few years ago i installed my WN2500RP successfully. Since i didn't want to see the WIFI signal coming from WN2500RP i disabled WSP. Now i would like install WN2500RP somewhere else, however i encounter the problem that i'm not able to install anymore. WSP install doesn't work since WPS disabled. Manual install via www.mywifiext.net does also not work, since i'm not able to connect the wifi 2500rp (doesn't show up since WPS disabled) I already tried fabric reset, however WPS still does not show. Have i destroyed my wn2500RP by diabling WPS (and removing all connected devices), or does anyone know a solution for this problem? Kind regards, Roel
